ahaha, come on animal you can go far but changing certain names????
Censorship?
Thats hypocritical seeying as you are all for freedom of speech, and besides i'm telling happy news
Violation of the first amendment, oh wait thats right..... This is the world wide web, not a capitalist web.
Long Live Socialism??? Communism??? Censorship, reminds me of when the libraries and books were burned in the earlier history to prevent people from gaining knowledge so only the power elite would remain total control. Makes me wonder what is said in those "special" "off limits" mod forums!?
well the site most of the veterans migrated to is a forbidden word! even it's initials cannot be used
that my friend, is censorship
heres what you get :

i like spondge
Computer games don't affect kids. I mean, if Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we would all be running around darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.
Not even to mention the countless times my posts have been deleted by the moderators for disagreeing with them. Even though I was right and they were wrong my posts seem to magically disapear into thin air.
Allthough if there is something one of our superiour moderators needs posted that others disagree with they expect everyone to bandwagon and jump ship to their side.
Oh the irony of it all. I love this site man, but sometime the sheer lunacy of it all drives me a little off the wall.

Yeah, I kept to myself during the ...uh 'stormy' years, didn't pick any sides 'cause i thought they both had (sides, not individuals) had some valid points.
But not being able to speak out, well type out , is kind of disturbing seeying the whole chapter has been closed a long time ago.
I love this site too, but sometimes there's these tiny things that can irritate the hell out of me, well this is actually the first thing that really got me kind of pissed

So I get an email from my best friend today. We last hung out on New Year's Eve and Day. He writes me to tell me that his 1996 Dodge Intrepid was stolen from his parking space at home!!
The shitty thing was he just had the garage do 1,300 dollars worth of work to the car. The second shitty thing is he didn't have theft insurance on his vehicle...so the car is as good as gone.
Man it pisses me off when nice, hard working people like my friend has life shit on them for no reason. I hope whoever stole his car has karma come back on them and something horrible happens to them.
CTCF and FLow you are both living in a completely different world to myself. The name of the site which many ex weedguru members gravitated to, all of whom are in my opinion spineless scum, was banned many months ago because more than a handful of those oh so lovely ex weedguru members, for many weeks, kept returning to weedguru to spam the forums with links to the other site. Now an admin in this situation is compelled to work for the site, and as I am admin of the weedguru site i took the decision, logical as it was and still is, to ban the use of the other site name. This is not censorship to me, it is simply an anti-spam measure. If those wretched geeks hadn't behaved so abominably then I would not have needed to ban the phrase. If anybody thinks it better to stand by idly while moraless goons spam the forums then I admire your heart and tendency towards ignorance but I don't envy your intelligence and am mighty glad that you aren't running this site. I make no apologies if that sounds harsh. And if my actions irritate then the simple choice is to get the fuck away from these forums. Speaking for solely myself, there are many annoying aspects to trying to maintain this site, none more so than spammers. To ignore these jobs would make me an even worse admin that i have so far proved to be due to my incredibly poor lack of coding knowledge and failure to appreciate dickheads. CTCF, I honestly know of no occasion when your posts, to my knowledge, have been either deleted or modified and as for the ommission from the forums of the name of the other site...That is the way it will stay. I really can't allow the opportunity to the same idiots to plaster links to their site all over these forums and to send private messages to every new member who joinds up detailing how weedguru has finished and the community is moving to the other site. tools. Censorship on these boards is kept to a minimum. In fact the only members I have banned this year have been spammers or obvious dickheads.
I am going to drop this now I guess, just want you to know who kept this place alive this year and next year if need be..... If you know what I mean! Hope that doesn't sound harsh.
Anyways Dan don't lose any sleep over it, when I post I post what is on my mind and that will not change here or anywhere else I wish to take my feelings and thoughts.
And not everyone that switched over came back and spammed this site. I can count them on one hand. Which was also in my opinion shallow and low, but some valued members who left were not so bad.
your contributions are always very useful to the site Chris, but you shouldnt take what I wrote as a personal insult as that was not how it was intended. Also unless you have more than 5 fingers on your hand, in which case how strange but wicked!, you don't know exactly who caused problems on the forum because there were plenty more than 5 of the fuckers. Still, like I said, I have not made any new word censors for well over 10 months and have no desire to suddenly start changing things around now. It annoys me when i get the impression that people think I am going out of my way to divide people, when that is clearly, to me anyway, not the case. ANd don't worry mate, I won;t lose any sleep over the issue! take care

I too posted at the aforementioned place, yet I was never able to quit weedguru, I like this place, it's the first forum I actually stayed on longer than a day and made more than 10 posts on.
anyway, let's drop it, no use in futile bickering
Computer games don't affect kids. I mean, if Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we would all be running around darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.
I guess that would make me spineless scum, along with higher who was without a doubt one of the greatest contributors in WG history, but that's nothing new coming out of animals mouth. You think with all his vast knowledge he could get past that whole elementary school game of name calling, like I said before it's alot easier to insult someone from thousands of miles away.
I suggest we all drop this before it starts leading to bannings and now that i like spondge is gone along with all those spineless scum(which included a few of our own mods) we can get around to changing the those idiotic censors.
RIP
this is all a lie l o u n g e....I hope MOT, tweedle, and Blaze are holding up alright.

i can admit that my comments were perhaps a little generalized and apologies if any unintentional insult has been taken, but I do consider many members who left weedguru then came back to try fuck it up to be spineless scum. Yes, DOc even more spineless than name calling from thousands of miles away. Higher indeed contributed a lot to the forums but the fact of his departure and subsequent return to spam these forums is that his anger was ruelled because his ability to alter ranking names was altered, not to personally punish him but to try isolate the problems which were resulting in posts been manipulated and other annoying bullshit that was occuring at the time.
I have no problem with you, DOc, flow or CTCF and like I say my spineless scum slur is intended more to those fuckers who returned to wg to fuck it up. ANd yes, Higher was one of that crowd. It is easy to see only one side of the coin in this matter and I have no real desire to change your minds but the main issue was idiots spamming these forums. just cos these idiots included sammy and higher doesn't make it any different.
it is rarely fun to be the admin of these forums, but I have no intention of trying to keep EVERY oner happy.
idiotic censors were put in place to stop idiots fucking thse forums. if that is idiotic behaviour then I guess I have the role of an admin woefully mistaken. It would be better to allow spam and private message detailing the death of weedguru to be sent en masse? no of course not.
oh, by the way thanks doc for your 'vast knowledge' comment. your sarcasm makes your post terribly hypocritical. immature name calling eh? lol.. you say your bit then assume a position of maturity. loathsome behaviour really but each to their own.
so, Flow and CTCF, if you have taken personal insult, please accept my rare apologies but I will never apologize for doing what I felt right for this website. There is much that none of you know about that period of time in question but is was so long ago and ultimately so inconsequential to the world as a whole why bother bringing it up again? So, you two in particular, make enemies of me if that feels like the best course of action but i certainly do not personally consider you both my enemies. Even if I did that would hardly be reason to ban you or cause you trouble on the forums. despite the opinions of members like good ol Doc Greenie, that is not how I work.
Excuse me animal but in case you forgot I was once a mod around here. I spent hours trying to help you track the spamming and locate different IP's so I know how frustrating it can be to deal with. If you remember correctly I was the one preventing most of the spam from getting across on the boards, not to mention I was one of the only one hearing you out about your paranoid theories of who it might be.
The truth is I considered you a friend until you started your complaints about the mod team and how we weren't censoring what you deemed necessary. I hope your happy now with a mod team which doesn't even posts on the site and allows endless amounts of spam and worthless users to make it across.
You make it seem that you're out for the well-being of weedguru but when it comes down to it your only goal is to push some kind of twisted ideal on the community which you happen to have control over. Unfortunately there's not anything any of us can do about it, so all the people who know what's really going on are forced to sit around with our mouths shut in order not to get booted.

I used to also consider you a friend Doc, and can't even exactly pinpoint where and when we fell out though I didn't think it was over an censorship issue. I
I personally have spent many hours deleting spam and banning the fuckers so you are not alone. and never have I stated that you weren't useful as a mod.
Still, when you come out with a comment like 'your only goal is to push some kind of twisted ideal on the community which you happen to have control over' i see clearly that you are far from inoffensive and reasonable and instead liable to choose words which suit your direction.
That statement is fucking stupid. absolutely ridiculous. If you were in any way right I would have banned 2/3rd of the community here. which hasn't happened.
for fucks sake, doc, try occupy your mind with something more constructive rather than going over and over the same old bullshit.
hmm...
